How do I get into a game? Long queue times!

[Hekatris]

Seriously. I picked this title up again after spending a couple of months on other stuff, and it is nearly impossible to get into a game now. I've left my queue timer running for up to 20 minutes before finally giving up. In 48 hours, I've only been able to get into TWO games. Am I doing something wrong? I usually queue up for Normal Squad (only level 17 atm). Is everyone just playing ranked and that is why I can't seem to get into a single game?

same for me!

I been having a similer issue with Rank. i haven't been getting a ranked game in over 2 days. and when i do it takes me out due to someone not accepting . What i found works best for me is playing normal games around 8 pm est. My Q times aren't more then 3 mins which is long but better then getting nothing. i hope that helps. If your ever looking for a game hit me up

Same for me. I really want to like this game but the que times are insane. I've been waiting 15 minutes for a duo match and nothing.

Try to move to Europe in the future, we have shorter queue times.

It also could be that before level 20 it puts you into a separate aka "newbie" pool, if you are soloing.

I'm lvl 17, do you mean to level up with bots till lvl 20? ranked or normal match?

It's just a conspiracy theory that before level 20 it won't match you with tryhards. Only with the same pool of players as you (<20).
I mean normal match, ranked is probably much worse (waiting time), unless playing on KR.

Normal solos during NA non peak times usually take between 1 - 5 mins.

(I usually play this game when I'm off and in the morning when most people are at work)

NA ranked is dead. I have never found a match of NA solo ranked. Waited 30mins twice and got nothing. (Yes during the ranked season)

EU is basically dead in normal and ranked. I can't confirm this but that is what I hear from a lot of EU people.

KR is majority of the playerbase and they are super active compared to the other regions.

Definitely not. You can check your opponents MMR and lvl for normal and ranked on this site. https://dak.gg/bser

You WILL go against players of way higher and sometimes way lower skill level. Regardless of rank, or lvl.

lol i checked that website. Im in top 10%. My bff was in top 20% and he only played 10 to 20 games. And the guy who killed me last game was in top 1%. This game's playerbase in EU is literally the size of my pingas.

When I tried playing squads a short while back, I actually fell asleep while I was in queue and when i woke up 50 minutes later, I was still in queue but left. My solo queue's in normals aren't that long usually, only at night time it's really long. But I've been queued for a solo Ranked game now for over 20 minutes... EU server

Ranks are dead.Normal solo is 0-15min. depending on region
